Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Atlanta, GA

The Falcons are the latest team to sign a player from the NFL’s International Player Pathway program. Today Atlanta announced that it has signed defensive end Kenny Oginni, who is from Nigeria and designated as the team’s international player, which means he does not count toward the 90-player offseason roster limit and also won’t count toward the practice squad limit if he signs to the Falcons’ practice squad. If he makes the 53-player regular season roster, he will count toward that limit.

The woman tending bar that evening seemed to know what would happen next. “The bartender goes, ‘Cody, you better not bring in a fucking lion,’” an eyewitness recalled. “She knew he was going to bring something in that was not a dog.”

It’s a fair question: Have people experiencing homelessness moved to Denver for a free hotel room?. At least one man did. The mother of a missing man messaged me the other day to tell me she is looking for her son. She said he moved back to Denver from Florida thinking he could get a free hotel room as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 plan. Of course, those rooms all are full now. Also, most people who received the rooms were in established encampments that the mayor swept. There never were any rooms for people who might move to Denver one week to be housed the next.
